Sometimes the simplest recipes can quickly become family favorites. These Spicy Ranch Crackers are definitely one of those recipes.

I totally meant to share these with you sometime before Christmas and then when that didn’t happen I meant to share before New Years…

It’s so funny because I look at these crackers and they just don’t look all that impressive to me. I mean, they’re just crackers. But, with just a few simple steps they go from just crackers to amazingly delicious Spicy Ranch Crackers and that’s something to celebrate 🙂

These crackers are totally addicting and, if you like things spicy, you’re going to love the kick that they have too! You can always adjust the amount of red pepper flakes you use to adjust the recipe to your spicy foods comfort level.

The great thing about this recipe is that it can be made for a crowd or you can scale back the recipe for a smaller group. It’s totally up to you!

My Aunt Pam made these yummy crackers for holiday gifts and let me tell you, the guys LOVE them! It’s a nice alternative to all the sweets that are always around.

    What a fun idea for crackers! This is so much cheaper than buying the already seasoned crackers. Pinning and sharing on social media. Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Mondays, Trish!

      You’re going to love them Ashley and because you and your fam loves spicy things you may want to add a bit more red pepper flakes to the mix 🙂 Have fun watching football!

      My mom made these for years! A tip to simplify the recipe even more,,,,,use oyster crackers instead of saltines. Super easy to just pop in your mouth!
